The Good. The Evil. The Full Season Order. FOX Picks Up Six More Episodes Of Smash Hit Drama, “GOTHAM”

FOX has ordered six more episodes of this fall’s breakout
new drama series, GOTHAM, it was announced today by Dana Walden and Gary
Newman, Chairmen and CEOs of Fox Television Group. The announcement raises the
series order to 22 episodes.

“GOTHAM debuted as one of the most buzzed-about shows of the
fall, and with good reason. Bruno Heller and Danny Cannon have created an
incredibly rich world, with characters that draw you in and a cast that brings
to life these heroes and villains in a way we’ve never seen before,” said
Walden and Newman. “We are so excited to see where Bruno, Danny and the entire
GOTHAM team take this story over the course of this season, and so thankful to
all the fans who have embraced it this fall.”

GOTHAM is tied as Monday night’s No. 1 drama among
Adults 18-49 and is this season's No. 1 broadcast drama overall among Men 18-49
-- a full rating point ahead of the No. 2 drama in that demographic. The
debut episode, which exploded into Premiere Week with a 6.0/18 rating
among Adults 18-49, outperformed “Blacklist” and “Scorpion” and delivered
FOX’s highest-rated fall drama debut in 14 years. This Live +7
rating reflects the largest post-three day ratings gain (+0.9) of any broadcast
drama, ever. In addition, GOTHAM’s premiere drew 14.1 million
viewers in the first seven days and has been streamed more than two
million times to date on FOX NOW and Hulu. The show’s second and
third episodes continued this positive trend, each delivering a 4.0 rating or
higher in just the first three days, making it one of the Top Three dramas
overall on broadcast television this season.

In the next all-new episode of GOTHAM, “Arkham,”
airing tonight (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on
FOX, a contentious city council vote on the future of the Arkham district
approaches, and politicians on both sides are in danger. Gordon (Ben McKenzie)
and Bullock (Donal Logue) must race to protect the council. Meanwhile, Oswald
Cobblepot (Robin Lord Taylor), who has already been christened “The Penguin,”
takes violent measures to further ingratiate himself with Maroni (guest star
David Zayas), and an old friend pays Gordon a visit.

GOTHAM is an origin story of the great DC Comics
Super-Villains and vigilantes, revealing an entirely new chapter that has never
been told. From executive producer/writer Bruno Heller (“The Mentalist,”
“Rome”), GOTHAM follows one cop’s rise through a dangerously corrupt city
teetering between good and evil, and chronicles the birth of one of the most
popular super heroes of our time. The entirely new, untold chapter stars Ben
McKenzie (“Southland,” “The O.C.”), Donal Logue (“Vikings,” “Sons of Anarchy”)
and Jada Pinkett Smith (“Hawthorne,” “Collateral”).

GOTHAM is based upon the characters from DC Comics and is
produced by Warner Bros. Television. Executive producer Bruno Heller (“The
Mentalist”) wrote the pilot, which was directed and executive-produced by Emmy
Award nominee Danny Cannon (the “CSI” franchise, “Nikita”). John Stephens
serves as an executive producer on the series. “Like” GOTHAM on Facebook at facebook.com/GOTHAMonFOX.
